[...] After a while, there was a serious argument on the subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and Slytherin left the school. [...] The story goes that Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in the castle, of which the other founders knew nothing. [...] Slytherin, according to the legend, sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that none would be able to open it until his own true heir arrived at the school."

- ↑ Pottermore, Hankerton Humble was the first ever caretaker at Hogwarts and was selected by the founders. Hogwarts was founded by them in the 10th century so it stands to reason Hankerton was born around the same time too.
